Week 4 is in the books! Another fantastic week of NFL Football. We saw the debut of Jaxson Dart as he lead the Giants to their first win of the season over last weeks number one ranked team!
We saw a beat down in Tampa, a game winning kick blocked in Las Vegas, and even a tie in Big D!
Here are my Week 5 Power Rankings going into this new week!
32: Tennessee Titans
31: New York Jets
30: New Orleans Saints
29: Miami Dolphins
28: Las Vegas Raiders
27: Carolina Panthers
26: New York Giants
25: Chicago Bears
24: Houston Texans
23: Cleveland Browns
22: New England Patriots
21: Cincinnati Bengals
20: Dallas Cowboys
19: Atlanta Falcons
18: Arizona Cardinals
17: Washington Commanders
16: Baltimore Ravens
15: Minnesota Vikings
14: Kansas City Chiefs
13: Denver Broncos
12: San Francisco 49ers
11: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10: Pittsburgh Steelers
9: Los Angeles Chargers
8: Indianapolis Colts
7: Jacksonville Jaguars
6: Green Bay Packers
5: Seattle Seahawks
We need to face the facts. This defense is a top 5 defense this year. 2nd in the league in points allowed with a difference of +44. Sam Darnold has lit up the league and is top 10 in QBR and passer rating. An impressive road win vs Arizona makes it 3 in a row for Seattle.
4: Detroit Lions
Are the Lions back? Detroit had a perfect game on all phases. Multiple turnovers, offensive touchdowns and even a punt return TD. Detroit easily dismantled one of the better defenses of the league to start the year and improve to 3-1
3: Buffalo Bills
Buffalos defense needs a lot of work. Allowing the Saints to stay in this ballgame as long as they did is quite alarming. With that being said, Josh Allen continues to prove why he’s once again an MVP favorite and is the reason the Bills are still a feared juggernaut in the AFC
2: Los Angeles Rams
The Rams showed that they have grit. This was a low scoring battle with the Colts. Puka Nacua had a career day against the Colts defense picking up win number 3 and handing Indy their first lost of the year.
1: Philadelphia Eagles
Drew Brees said this week that this offense is “boring”. Many people agree. Do you wanna know what isn’t boring though? That Philly defense. The Eagles defense gave Baker Mayfield and that offense a very, VERY long day. Philly went on the road and had a dominant performance.
